2 Corinthians 13:8-10

ACV(i) 8 For we do not have any power against the truth, but for the truth. 9 For we are glad when we are weak and ye are strong. And this also we pray for, your full qualification. 10 Because of this I write these things while absent, so that I may not act harshly when present, according to the authority that the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.
